International students in Christine Rhodes’ English class in Australia share their impressions (印象) of places they have visited in Australia.

Canberra, the nicest city in Australia

I went for a short holiday to Canberra. My uncle lives there. It’s the nicest city in Australia, a little bit similar to Cairns. There’re lots of big rivers and trees around the city.

The small city of Mount Isa

I went to Mount Isa six months ago. It’s a long way from Brisbane — about 2,000 km. It’s a small city, with a population of 21,000, but it has all the basic facilities such as a base hospital, six schools and supermarkets. Here the weather is hot and gets very little rain. There’re two big lakes to keep rainwater for people in the city to drink.

Lake Moondarra and a mine (礦)

In Mount Isa, there’s a dam (水壩) called Lake Moondarra. At weekends you can go there with your friends, and it is beautiful. On the lake, there is water skiing. Also, people can go fishing there.

There’s a big mine in Mount Isa. Many people go to work in the mine and earn a lot of money. Mount Isa isn’t a beautiful green place, but many people love it.

Have you ever seen people building houses? To build a house , you need workers. They use their hands , tools(工具) and machines to put things together. Building the ISS（國(guó)際太空站） is the same. The difference is that the workers are astronauts. They walk in space and use robots’ arms and hands to do their work.
In the space station ,astronauts are comfortable. The temperature there is about 21℃.But outside the station , it can be too hot or cold for people. In the sunlight, it’s about 120℃. In the shadow(陰暗處)of the station, it’s about -85℃ . So when astronauts walk in space , they have to wear heavy clothes----spacesuits.
Spacesuits also keep astronauts safe from flying rubbish(垃圾)in space.Each time people go into space , they leave rubbish there. So astronauts should be careful because there’s a lot of rubbish, some rubbish goes many times as fast as a plane !
Space walking is not easy , and it can be dangerous. So getting ready for it takes a lot of time to learn. Astronauts will need to do 160 space walks to finish their work in the ISS. That will take about 1,900man-hour of work.

A. 21℃            B120℃             C. -85℃               D.-21℃
